Mal ,'Serenity'
A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.
The only film on that list I've seen is The Shining, but I had already seen the Simpsons parody so the scary was pretty much ruined.
I scariest one for me was probably Aliens. I don't know if scary is right word though, more like intense. I have to see more movies.
Bring on the Apocalypso!
Everybody limbo.

I don't know... they make* me* think 'how low can they go?' pretty frequently. I think it fits.
Yeah, Alien (the horror movie, not the action movie sequel) scared the living crap out of me. Possibly the best slasher ever made - slasher meets sci-fi! (though I do love Halloween - actually, I love the entire slasher genre).
Alien would be scarier, but I saw Aliens first so it wasn't new. Can't put the Alien back in the belly so to speak.

Yes, but did you know that the science guy in Alien was an evil android?
I read the novelization of Alien as a kid....

erika read my mind. I was going to say this but thought I'd wait for someone else to put the fine point on it.
you go girl.
I saw Alien after Aliens and it still creeped me out, even knowing that there was an alien it still held my attention, the whole inevitable -ness of it (like the dread of knowing Bayliss will pick up the phone in the first episode of Homicide)
What really stood out to me about Alien is how much movie making has changed. It starts off so slow and quiet, I was almost a bit impatient with it because I'm so used to quick cuts and things like that.
Loving the comparison, although if you've not seen the arc, it probably reads like "WTF? He picks up a phone..." But after a few times you start hoping for Kay to be the Big Damn Heroine she is and handle it for the kid.
